    Classical New York 2.0 Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Classical New York 2.0 Julian Sachs (November 01, 2010) For our first piece of this season, the ups and downs of the first month of operas at the Met. Plus, what we can look forward to in November. On September 27 the 2010-2011 Metropolitan Opera [2] season began with a new production of Richard Wagner’s Das Rheingold. The following night the Teutonic fogs were dispelled by the reprise of last season’s production of Offenbach’s Les Contes d’Hoffmann. Twenty-one hours later the audience was present for Verdi’s Rigoletto. Less than two weeks went by and a new production of Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov premiered, followed five days later by Zeffirelli’s immortal production of Puccini’s La Bohème. Such a contrasting and multi-flavored operatic feast is enough to give any critic indigestion, so what follows is a few glimpses at the ups and downs of these five productions of early 2010. UP: James Levine, the singers, and his orchestra, Das Rheingold. Page 1 of 4 Classical New York 2.0 Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) This season is in his honor, because it marks the 40th anniversary of his Met debut, and 35th from his appointment as Music Director. Under his guide the orchestra always sounds better, and the general improvement in quality over the years has been felt by every assiduous Met-goer, resulting in the Met orchestra becoming arguably the best opera-house orchestra in the world.
